For the funeral later today I got this H&M suit for a very fair price as my other black suit gotten way to big since I lost weight.

The trousers are to slim for my liking, but as I rarely uses suits(especially black ones) in my daily life I did not want to spend a fortune shopping for one.

Looks awesome! It’s amazing to me how good all three colors you got look with your black jacket. I bet you’re going to have fun switching them around. Is it actually cool enough in Scotland to wear that jacket?
It certainly is,I'm wearing it now,patio doors wide open and sitting watching the Sopranos for the 4th time.im actually looking at sourcing a 618 so I can keep a collar on permanently. Will keep the size 46 for layering. The 115s were the best buys I've made in many years.Two of the most comfortable jackets I own.

Nice! I wish it was cool enough here to wear a jacket. I must admit that I get a bit confused between the different models. ordered my new jacket with a removable collar and I was wondering just this morning how and when I would decide when to wear it with and without the collar.

Well I wish I could wear my jackets all the time also but I think waiting for the cooler months is part of the excitement of the leather’s jackets it’s quite possible if we could wear them year round or would not be as special
That’s a good point. Of course it’s all relative. I live somewhere where it’s often too warm to wear a jacket even in winter time. So for me, I wish we had more cool weather. But most people probably think I’m insane.

I just want a proper summer, gimme even just a 2month one..****ed off wearing jackets 11months of the year.i can take temps down to -20 easily,it's the incessant rain here that i struggle with.My textile and wax cotton are my go to gear for most of the year,it's depressing. That's why my leather stays immaculate, they're worn sitting in a comfy chair ,doors open, watching tv :)

Yeah, understood!

I love my Lightning, even more so than the Perfecto. But it’s NOT a comfortable jacket. Lack of any help for arm/torso movement makes it always feel restrictive (no gussets, action-back or underarm-footballs).
Personally, I’d probably size up next time around and live with the excess material.
Yes, I'm glad I was able to try that LL jacket on (actually multiple jackets) I would've definitely gone with a size 40. Always wanted a LL jacket but, absolutely no one carries them in the States. I'm hoping to travel to Japan next year, stop by the shop there. Actually the best fitting jacket for me was this Countryman Jacket. If I were to buy any jacket in the shop, it would've been this one! super cool jacket!

That looks pretty spectacular! My LL Dominator is probably my all time favorite jacket. Their quality is fantastic. I was fortunate to visit the LL sore in Tokyo. Make sure you stop by The Flathead shop when you’re there, it’s right down the street (walking distance).
